A love dedication to the seven inch format from Tomlab Records

Two in one day, it's insane. I remember picking up a couple of these here and there as they went on sale years ago....I think I have the Final Fantasy and maybe the Erase Errata single...I kind of thought it was a myth that they did every letter! This must have taken years to put out, and now all collected together? This is completely insane. I also kind of hope that they press this entire thing up every couple of years or so (yea right) because it's slightly out of my price range at the moment...although that Umlaut series with Mt Eerie and R. Stevie Moore might be possible....and then I get an awesome empty box to taunt me the rest of my life!

I also love that they go as far as to not put any of these out as digital downloads. They are as hardcore as 7 inches. Mp3's don't exist. My ipod listens to podcasts. I read that irony article in the NY Times and I worry that 7inches is feeding in to that. I just like records man...a lot. Take it easy.

What a liar.

THE TOMLAB ALPHABET SINGLES SERIES BOX SET concludes an eight year series with a total of 30 x 7 inch records. It started in 2004 with the letter "A" and did not come to an end with the letter "Z" since the German alphabet includes the additional "Umlaut" letters "Ä", "Ö", "Ü", and the special character "ß".

The End

If you're pressing 7" vinyl - you aren't in it for the money. I appreciate it.
